Brown University issued a travel warning to international students and teachers after the Trump administration deported a staff member to Lebanon.
Newsweek arrived at Brown University for comment.
Why does it make a difference
President Donald Trump, who has promised to deport millions of immigrants without any legal status, has given US immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) the option of operating in or near sensitive places like schools, hospitals and churches.
There have been claims that the Trump administration is ignoring judicial orders regarding exile and holding arrests with little transparency. The rapid increase in detention and deportation has led to debate on civil liberties and proper action.
What to know?
The Trump administration claims that Professor Rasha Aliwih, a Lebanese physician in Brown Madison on the island of Rhod, had “openly confessed” to support the Hezbollah leader and attend his funeral.
34 -year -old Alvah was detained on March 13 at the Boston Logan International Airport after returning from Lebanon from a family trip for a two -week family. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents said they exposed photos of Iran’s Supreme Leader and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Alawi’s phone.
On Monday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said that during its detention, Ali told customs agents that she used to travel to Beirut to attend Nasrullah’s funeral.
Alawi, who came to the United States in 2018, conducted a H-1B visa. A court order was issued to stop the elimination.
The university said it received an email on March 16, By Newsweek“Caution is frequently sent out”. It warns that leaving the country during a possible travel ban and changing the needs of the rental “can affect the ability to return to the United States according to passenger plans.”
“We admit that federal travel measures continue to impress our community members in a deep personal way, including concern about family, friends and loved ones,” the memo said.

What are people saying

DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Traceia MacLeflin, in a statement: “Last month, Rasha Aliwa traveled to Beirut, Lebanon to attend Harsen Nasrullah’s funeral-a brutal terrorist who led Hezbollah, who was responsible for trying to terrorize hundreds of Americans for four decades of terror.
“Visa is an honor to have the fitness and support of the rights that are the basis for refusing the appointment of a visa, the fitness and support of terrorists killing Americans. This is a joint security.”
CBP Assistant Commissioner of Public Affairs Hilton Beckham said Newsweek In a statement: “Foreign citizens who promote extremist ideology or promote terrorist propaganda are unacceptable to the United States, simple and easy.
“Officers work fast to refuse the entry of terrorist organizations, advocate for violence, or openly support terrorist leaders and remind their deaths. Anyone will be removed with extremist material affiliated with the US -designated terrorist group.”
What happens next
